About the Festival
As with many events during this unprecedented global pandemic we have been working to create an event plan that inspires resilience & faith for better days, while being responsible to our community’s health and safety. We have relied on the guidance of our local government and Public Health officials and have settled upon The Pueblo Chile & Frijoles THROWBACK Fest.
This year we will pay homage to our humble roots when the festival was but 1 block long and neither the staff, vendors, nor farmers ever dreamed there would be a second festival, let alone 26!
During the 26th Annual Pueblo Chile & Frijoles THROWBACK Fest there will be two downtown areas designated for farmers markets with your favorite Pueblo grown chile roasting on Saturday 9/26 and Sunday 9/27 from the hours of 8:00am to 7:00pm. Patrons will be able to purchase their produce in a safe and socially distanced outdoor environment. Safety protocols will be in place.
